    I don’t think that’s really comparable, a parent isn’t being paid, a babysitter can choose not to babysit. And besides, it really depends on what the kid’s asking to do. I’ve definitely been told I can’t do things when I was being babysat.

      Babysitting? Think more childcare services. You get what you pay for with babysitters.

      Parents aren’t paid, but you should be putting in more effort than you expect from paid child care workers.
